Graphic print direction

You can choose unidirectional or bidirectional as the print

direction for graphics. The printer usually prints text

bidirectionally for fast printing and prints graphics

unidirectionally for precise vertical alignment of print dots. To
print graphics faster, select bidirectional printing. If you have
installed the motor unit included with the color upgrade kit,
make sure the printing direction is always unidirectional even
when you are using the black ribbon.

Download

You must turn on the download function before you download

fonts or other user-defined characters to the printer’s memory.
If you are not using user-defined characters, turn off download

to increase the printer’s memory capacity and the printing

speed.

Auto line feed

When the auto line feed feature is on, each carriage return (CR)

code is accompanied by a line feed (LF) code. If your printed
text is unexpectedly double spaced, set this option off. If text

lines print on top of each other, set it on.

Hex dump/Demonstration

The hex dump/demonstration feature lets you print a
hexadecimal dump or a demonstration page. If you choose hex

dump and then run an application program, the printer prints

the exact codes (in hexadecimal format) it receives from the

computer. You can analyze this information to isolate

communication problems If you select demonstration, the

printer prints a page of text and font selections available with
your printer.
